Mountain Sports Inn Summer/Fall Activities

Hiking in Vermont & The Long Trail

Vermont is still God's country! The wilderness is vast and undeveloped. When you venture into the backcountry by foot, it isn't long before the only sound you can hear is your rhythmic breathing and heart pounding. Mountain Sports Inn is only two miles away from major trail heads, the Appalachian Trail and the Long Trail. We can provide you the necessary information you need from just a short walk through the forest to a long strenuous day out on the mountain trails.

Killington Golfing

Within three miles of the Mountain Sports Inn there are two great golf courses, and numerous others within a short drive. The Green Mountain National Golf Course built in 1996 has a beautiful setting while challenging you on every shot. Designed by Gene Bates, the 18 hole, championship course features bent grass fairways, tees, and greens, a state of the art irrigation system, and an expansive drainage system. There is no better place in Vermont to get great views of the fall foliage, no matter what hole you're on. Golf packages are available through Mountain Sports Inn.The Killington Golf Course located on Killington Road in the Killington Village, also has a beautiful mountain setting. The course was designed by Geoffrey Cornish. This 18 hole 6,300-yard par 72 course will take your game to new heights. We will be happy to set up a tee time for you.

Vermont Fishing & Hunting

Fishing and Hunting is another favorite pastime here in Vermont. Rivers, streams, and endless forests are plentiful in Vermont. Fishing and hunting, in season, can be a great family adventure. We can help you with the secret spots in central Vermont, where fish and game have been seen and actually caught. Fly fishing is the local specialty, and there are streams and ponds throughout the mountains of central Vermont to cast away. For all your local equipment needs Dick's Sporting Goods in Rutland, Vermont (15-20 minutes away) has all the gear needed for your expedition. You can contact them at 802-773-2710 for more information about equipment as well as fishing and hunting in the area.

At Killington, all abilities can ride on five different mountains. With over 40 miles of trails, there is something for everyone.
